Right out the box – man, that silhouette is just iconic, you know? The build quality feels solid, no major glue stains on my pair. At $210 USD, you expect a decent level of finish, and I think it delivers. The grey speckled accents on the midsole? "Chef's kiss" – a perfect throwback detail. On foot now, and the fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan Retro 4 has a snug, secure feel - especially around the midfoot, thanks to those plastic wings. It's not the most cushioned shoe ever, you definitely feel the court-ready setup, but it's stable. The break-in period is real, though. After a few wears, it gets more comfortable. So, who is this shoe for? If you're into sneaker history and iconic silhouettes, the Air Jordan Retro 4 is a must-have. It's a cornerstone of the Jordan line. The 'White Cement' version, with that legendary splatter, is a grail for a reason. At its price point, you're paying for heritage and design. It's perfect for collectors and casual wearers who appreciate the classics. On feet, the design really pops. The mesh panels and plastic wings on this "air jordan retro 4" add so much texture. It photographs incredibly well. Compared to a simpler AJ1, the 4s have more going on—more details to appreciate. That's a huge plus for me; it's a sneaker that looks great from every angle.
